The term “Natsarim” (נֹצְרִים) in Hebrew generally means “watchmen” or “guardians.” Derived from the root word natsar (נָצַר), which means “to watch” or “to guard,” it refers to those who are vigilant in observing Yah’s commandments. Historically, both Jews and Arabs have used “Natsarim” or “Nazarenes” to refer to Christians, originating from the Hebrew word “Natzrat,” which denotes Nazareth, the town where Yeshua (Jesus) was raised.
In Hebrew, the term for Christian is “נַצְרוּתִי” (Natzruti), while in Arabic, “نَصْرَانِيّ” (Nasrani) is used, both reflecting the same historical and geographical roots as “Natsarim.”
Historical Significance:
The term “Natsarim” was used to describe early followers of Yahusha who adhered to the teachings of the Torah and considered themselves a faithful remnant within non-Pharisaic, original followers of the WAY of Messiah Yahusha (Yeshua), also known as Jesus in mainstream Christianity.
